Although he is best known as an adult contemporary singer today, the first stage of John’s career was as a teen pop idol, where he rose to popularity between 1967 to 1979 with hits like ‘Sadie (The Cleaning Lady)’.
John would go on to join the Little River Band as lead vocalist from 1982 to 1985, before skyrocketing to international fame with his solo career starting in 1986.
While he retired from full-scale national tours in 2003, John has continued to record music and perform live, even playing for the Australian Olympic Team in 2012 and joining Olivia Newton-John for their ‘Two Strong Hearts Live’ concert tour.
